Based on neurobiological foundations, with a holistic understanding of how the brain organises arousal, trauma, executive functions and movement, this advanced level, two-day workshop combines a range of approaches to support clients.  This is a practical, in-person workshop that builds on the introductory training on Psycho-Sensory Intervention run online by Kim Barthel in September 2021 & again in March 2022. We will explore psycho-therapeutic relational interventions, attachment theory, sensory processing and body-based practices that enhance regulation and daily functioning. Through a combination of clinical reasoning, demonstrations, labs and group problem solving, this workshop will provide a deeper dive into the treatment process from a psycho-sensory perspective. 

Learning Outcomes:

Participants Will Develop:

  • Clinical reasoning skills to assess and appreciate the interaction of developmental trauma, attachment, sensory processing and movement using the psycho-sensory model

  • Deepen observation skills of non-verbal communication, body language and posture as important contextual information of a client’s arousal states and insight into their states of safety or relative danger

  • An understanding of treatment options within a holistic model to support co-regulation and self-regulation

  • Psycho-therapeutic relational skills within the sensory-motor context

  • Sensory strategies for the treatment of stress responses and dysregulation

  • Posture and movement interventions to create mind-body shifts related to mental health challenges

PRE-REQUESITE: Applicants must have already completed Kim’s 7.5 hour online Psycho-Sensory Intervention. This can still be completed through the recordings online; information and booking HERE : https://relationshipmatters.thinkific.com/courses/psycho-sensory-intervention-with-aoti-level-one Or contact cpdadmin@aoti.ie for details.
